Chapel Lane, New Longton, PR4 4AD

Victorian Semi-Detached Family Home | Built Circa 1898 | Period Features | Rare Opportunity | No Chain

Property Description

Constructed circa 1898 by the locally renowned Bamford family, Brook House is one of a distinctive pair of Victorian semi-detached homes that have become a recognisable part of Chapel Lane's character. Rich in history and architectural charm, this elegant home has remained within the same family for the last 47 years, where it has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed as a wonderful family home.

Today, Brook House is offered with vacant possession, ready for its next custodians to sympathetically modernise and create a home that blends timeless period elegance with contemporary family living.

Stepping through the original entrance vestibule and into the impressive reception hall, you're immediately greeted by beautiful original mosaic tiled flooring, complemented by high ceilings, ornate cornice coving and the character that only homes of this era can offer.

To the front of the property, the elegant bay-fronted lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light and retains all the charm expected of an Victorian home. To the rear sits a second reception room, enhanced by a distinctive boxed bay window to the side. Positioned alongside the kitchen, this arrangement offers exciting potential to create the open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that so many buyers now seek.

There is also excellent scope to extend across the rear, subject to the necessary permissions, creating an even larger open-plan living space perfectly suited to modern family life. Looking ahead, there is further opportunity to extend upwards, allowing for additional bedrooms, en-suite facilities or expanded accommodation should future needs require.

The first floor offers three generously proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom, whilst a convenient ground floor WC adds further practicality.

Outside, the property occupies a generous plot with gardens to both the front and rear. The frontage offers obvious potential to create private driveway parking, whilst the existing detached garage and adjoining outbuildings present an opportunity to reconfigure the outside space, creating a larger landscaped garden ideal for family living and entertaining.

Homes of this quality, history and potential rarely become available. Brook House offers the chance not simply to purchase a property, but to restore and enhance a beautiful Victorian home for generations to come.
